first pay off my debt, invest enough that I can live on just the interest the money yields, put away money for my daughter's college up to Doctor's level if she wants to go that far.

1) Buy a monkey (Haven't you always wanted a monkey?)
2) Buy a green dress (But not a real green dress -- that's cruel!)
3) Buy your love!  :heart:

(Wait, haven't I heard that somewhere....)

Hmm.... maybe it'd be more like:

1) Pay off my debt
2) Give a bunch to charity
3) Help out my family
4) Buy all the Barenaked Ladies albums (oops, too late)

I would buy a house ( get out of this apartment), finally buy a new car because the car I have has major issues, and get rid of all my debt.

Pay all bills, invest, and try to reach 5MIL+.  Then I could retire and travel the world.

Actually, that makes sense... Probably instead of just giving a lump sum to charity, I'd try to set up some type of foundation to invest the money in, and have the charity take the earnings from the interest. A lot of college scholarships are started that way; some benefactor gives the school a large lump sum of money, but instead of just dividing up that money among their students, they'll actually invest the money and use the interest earned by the money to create the scholarship. This way the money will last much longer.

I wouldn't tell anyone I had that kind of money, I would work a part time job and I would buy a decent size house for a family of 6.
Considering the amount of money I would pay off debt and help out family members in small amounts every so often.
I really am a firm beleiver that once you have money the moochers and the abusers come out.
So I would rather help those who have importance in my life or those I care for. As well as donating to a random family who is poor.
